Re: How to prevent reboot on an uninstall (.net and msiexec call)
Larry
Auto logon info at
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;315231
This adds specified domain\username to local admin group, refer Win XP Pro
help for further usage of net localgroup or
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/net_localgroup.mspx,
it's fully documented:
net localgroup administrators <domain>\<user name> /add
We use Windows Installer 3.1 and have the same issue so I don't think you'll
gain much benefit by upgrading.
Good luck

Re: How to prevent reboot on an uninstall (.net and msiexec call)
Thanks Greg you've saved me a bunch of time.
I'll just set the autologon option programatically then remove it when its
done.

Re: How to prevent reboot on an uninstall (.net and msiexec call)
No problem Larry, however, I would like to understand the issue rather than
just come up with a work around.
Enjoy
